And now, here's the musical!!!!!!!


25 October, Day Seven

Draco liked sleeping in on Saturdays and Sundays. It wasn't that he disliked the mornings; he just had a different sleep pattern. Go to sleep at 3 a.m. and wake up at 11 the next day. It was how he managed to look better on the weekends. Not that anyone noticed, he sniffed indignantly. Well, maybe one day Harry would because they would live together and--

No. Draco pinched himself. He told himself to be realistic. He was sure that he and Harry would make a good couple and all but he wasn't going to be stupid. He was going to take only what Harry would give and he wouldn't allow himself to dream. Dreaming lead to greater expectations on his part. He had a feeling that it was exactly what had driven Harry from Ginny Weasley.

He sighed. He only hoped that he could live up to his own expectations. He was sure that his patience and stubborn refusal would see him through the first years of dating Harry.

Enough, for now, though. He charmed the book from his deceased uncle to remain open to the page he wanted it to and rolled his sleeves up. If he wanted a relationship at all with Harry, he was going to start it off right. He knew he was going to be waiting until the 30 to have a date for the ball if he left it up to Harry to ask. Still, even he needed help with this.

Not to mention it would be funny to see the rest of the students make fools of themselves. He was sure, too, that many relationships were going to broken by noon in the smallest time.

He only hoped no one else got to charm the pants off of Harry before he did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the first time in a couple of days, Harry actually woke at the same time as Ron. However, given their current distance, it wasn't pleasant. Ron was quick to leave the room, never speaking or looking at Harry. Dean and Seamus, who had just pulled open the curtains of a now shared bed, sighed.

"He'll come around, mate," Seamus said.

"He has to," Dean added.

Harry smirked. "Why did it take so long for you two to get together? You're very nearly in sync all ready."

They laughed. "We took lessons from certain twins is all, Harry," Seamus said.

"The only thing is now," Dean said, "It's a day free from classes. Go out and get Draco. Ask him to the ball!"

Harry rolled his eyes. He had been hearing the same kind of statments since Dumbledore had announced the ball. He knew he was going to; but everytime he started to ask, he would find himself unable to speak. Bloody nerves, Harry thought to himself. If not for them, he was sure he would not only have a date for the ball but a boyfriend.

Boyfriend. He chuckled softly. He would have never thought he would ever want a boyfriend or almost have one. He had been so sure he was straight. Oh well. He would have to make sure to write to the twins to thank them for starting the prank war; he would have never realized how much he wanted Draco Malfoy be his.

His thoughts were distracted when he saw a crowd gathered in the common room. He had heard raised voices but didn't think it was too big of a deal. The crowd meant only one thing: who ever was arguing were some of the older years.

He not surprised to find out it was Ron and Hermione arguing or that the crowd was so thick around them. When the other Gryffindors saw him, they let him through to the front. Ron saw him first and his face tightened up.

"Are you still going to the ball with Harry, then?" he shouted. "Cheating with him, too?"

Hermione's eyes went wide. "Ronald Weasley! How dare you! We're friends!"

Ron scoffed. "Yeah, right!"

Hermione huffed and crossed her arms. Out of nowhere, music started playing and Harry wondered for a brief moment if today was going to a bit of a rip-off prank but then Hermoine started singing and Harry smirked. This was going to be an interesting day.

Hermione:
Every single day,
I walk down the street
I hear people say 'baby so sweet'
Ever since puberty,
Everybody stares at me
Boys, girls, I can't help it baby
so be kind, and don't lose your mind
just remember that I'm your baby

take me for what I am
who I was meant to be
and if you give a damn
take me baby,
or leave me

take me or leave me

a tiger in a cage
can never see the sun
this diva needs her stage
baby,lets have fun.
you are the one I choose
folks would kill to fill your shoes
you love the lime light too, now baby,
so be mine and don't waste my time cryin'
'honey bear are you still my, my, my baby?'

take me for what I am
who I was meant to be
and if you give a damn
take me baby or leave me

no way, can I be what I'm not
but hey, don't you want your girl hot?

oh, don't fight, don't loose your head
'cause every night who's in your bed?
who?
who's in your bed?

Ron:
it won't work
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make list in my sleep baby
whats my sin?
never quit
I follow through
I hate mess but I love you
what do with my improptu baby?
so be wise 'cause this girl satisfies
you got a prize but don't compomise
your one lucky baby

Ron: take me for what I am
Hermione: a control freak
Ron: who I was meant to be
Hermione: a snob yet over attentive
Ron:and if you give a damn
Hermione:a loveable droll geek
Ron take me baby or leave me
Hermione an anal retentave

both: thats it
Ron: the straw that breaks my back
both: i quit
Ron: unless you take it back

chorus:
both: take me for what i am
Ron who i was ment to be
Hermione: who i was meant to be
and if you give a damn
Ron: and if you give a damn then
take me baby, or leave me
Hermione:take me baby, take me or la-la-la-la-la-leave me
both: take me baby or leave me
The music faded away as both Ron and Hermione glared. At the same time, they turned away and yelled, "Guess I'm leaving, I'm gone!"

The crowd around them started muttering and Harry went after Hermione. He passed Ron on the way and shook his head at his former best mate. That song had just spilled a lot of secrets about the relationship that Harry was sure neither had wanted spreading around the school. A lot of people--Harry included--had always thought that Hermione was the stubborn, anal retentive one; the one more difficult to get along with.

Clearly, they were all wrong.

Hermione was in an old, unused classroom when Harry found her. She was sniffling and looking out over the lake.

"This isn't the worst prank," Hermione said.

Harry raised his eyebrow. "Really?"

She giggled a little. "No. It...helped. To say all that. Maybe now...we can move on."

"Or, he'll realize what an arse he's being and change his ways," Harry suggested hopefully.

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right. Somehow, I doubt that is going to happen."

Harry shrugged. "Oh, well. Come on, breakfast. We can find out what else is going to be sung."

Hermione laughed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Draco took a deep breath when he saw Harry walk into the Great Hall. Finally. He had seen Ron come in, grab some toast and leave quickly. If the rumors were anything to go by, he and Hermione had had a scene earlier. He hoped so. He was starting to like the girl and she shouldn't be with some arse like the youngest male Weasley.

Draco stood and was going to walk over to his love when he felt himself deflate. Ginny Weasley was making her move.

Blaise, seeing what was happening, smirked. "Don't worry about it, Draco. Harry's smarter than that."

Draco nodded absently. He hoped so.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry groaned when he saw Ginny walking over to him. She looked determined and sure of herself. Harry didn't know why. At this point, she could do a strip tease and he wouldn't care. He knew that there was a rumor about Mclaggen having a crush on her; maybe he could play Cupid?

Ginny finally reached them and opened her mouth.

I'm not wearing underwear today,
No im not wearing underwear today
Not that you probably care
Much about my underwear
Still none the less i gotta say
That im not wearing underwear today

The entire hall was silent. In addition to the lyrics, Ginny had sung them quite loudly. The girl herself looked like someone had cast a petrificulus totalus spell on her and was blushing hotly. When someone let out a giggle, it started a wave of everyone else laughing and Ginny ran from the room.

"Well, that was interesting," Harry said.

Hermione nodded but didn't say anything as she was too busy laughing. Harry sat down and began to eat. When the majority of the students were in the room, Dumbledore stood and called for silence.

"It's clear that someone has created a prank that allows everyone to express themselves musically," he said, "For that, there is only one thing to say."

He sat down and for a moment, nothing happened. Then, all of sudden, a disco beat began and several students stood up.

Dance boogie wonderland
dance boogie wonderland
Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts,
of men who need more than they get
daylight deals a bad hand,
to a woman that has laid to many bets

At this point, another set of students stood up and faced the other students.

The mirror stares you in the face and says
"baby, uh uh it don't work"
you say your prayers through you don't care
you dance and shake the hurt
dance boogie wonderland
dance boogie wonderland

Time froze for a second before the dishes on the tables disappeared and all of the students joined in.

Sound fly through the night
I chase my vinyl drams to boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
All the love in the world can't be gone
all the need to be loved can't be wrong
All the records are playing
and my heart keeps saying
"boogie wonderland, wonderland"
dance boogie wonderland
dance boogie wonderland
All the love in the world can't be gone
all the need to be loved can't be wrong
All the records are playing
and my heart keeps saying
"boogie wonderland, wonderland"
dance boogie wonderland
dance boogie wonderland

When the music faded, the students looked around at each other and started laughing.

"I have to say, thus far, this is my favorite prank!" Hermione said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By mid-morning, the students had all moved outside and were enjoying a late season heat wave. Surprisingly, Harry's new friendship with Draco meant that the Slytherins were sitting with the Gryffindors. It was something that had not happened in some years and Harry felt that a certain peace had settled over the castle.

Well, it had for most of the students and castle. He glared at Ron who was strolling toward them. He must've tensed up because Draco's hand grabbed his and squeezed reassuringly. Harry blushed as he looked down at their hands and then at Draco.

"Can I have a word with you, Hermione?" Ron asked.

Hermione raised an eyebrow. "Well?"

Ron swallowed harshly. "In private?"

Hermione crossed her arms as she stood. "Why? It's not like no one knows about our relationship now. Anything
you have to say can be said in front of them."

"Not with the Slytherins around," Ron hissed. He suddenly saw Dean and Seamus who had not surfaced from their snog fest. "And I can't concentrate with them doing that."

"What? Snogging?" Hermione asked.

"Well, yeah, but," Ron's ears turned bright red, "It's not that I don't like them but I'm not comfortable with them."

"Who?" Seamus asked as he finally separated from Dean. The other boy merely sat back with a smirk. "Us personally or gays?"

Ron looked taken back. "I...that is...um...gays." He said the word quietly.

"Why?" Seamus asked.

Ron shrugged. "I dunno...it seems...odd...funny."

"I believe the word is 'queer'," Seamus said. He looked at Dean and motioned his boyfriend over.

Harry started laughing when he heard music starting up. The other students around them heard it, too, because they all sat up.

Seamus kissed Dean soundly before he started to sing:

It's okay be gay, let's rejoice with the boys in the gay way
Hooray for the kind of man that you will find in the gay way
It's okay to be gay, let's rejoice with the boys in the gay way
Hooray for the kind of man that you will find in the gay way

Father figures we are
You're a shooting star you've come so far
I was once in your shoes
In a closet like you
I had nothing to lose

Hey man gay man pick up the soap
Get on your knees and pray
Hey man gay man
Release your load
You've got to cease to delay
The gay way

It's okay to be gay, let's rejoice with the boys in the gay way
Hooray for the kind of man that you will find in the gay way
Hooray! For the man!

Ooh, strong man
queen of the balls
some brotherly love is a pleasure for all
Come out
open your eyes
it's a matter of size

Hey man gay man pick up the soap
Get on your knees and pray
Hey man gay man
Release your load
you've got to cease to delay
The gay way

It's okay to be gay, let's rejoice with the boys in the gay way
Okay to be gay!
Hooray for the kind of man that you will find in the gay way

Sing hallelujah (sing hallelujah)
It's getting to ya (it's getting to ya)

Hey! Ho! Mo! Hey! Ho! Mo! Hey! Ho!
Now remember
There's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over

It's okay to be gay, let's rejoice with the boys in the gay way
It's okay!
Hooray for the kind of man that you will find in the gay way

West is where you should go
To San Francisco
I get that you know
Would you gather my face
So united we stand in a gay parade
A human serenade

Hooray for the kind of man that you will find in the gay way
It's okay to be gay, let's rejoice with the boys in the gay way
Hooray for the kind of man that you will find in the gay way
It's okay to be gay!

Ron was bright red from embarassment and when Seamus raised an eyebrow, Ron stammered out, "Well...I..."

Seamus rolled his eyes. "Whatever, Ron. This is exactly what Hermione was talking about this morning. You see only in black and white, straight boys and girls, good and evil. You won't ever take your head out of your arse long enough to accept other ways. Grow up, get a little maturity, and then come back. Got it?"

Ron looked helplessly at Hermione. "Herms?"

Hermione crossed her arms. "I've nothing to add."

Ron's shoulders slumped and he walked off. Seamus turned to Hermione. "I don't know how you stood being his girlfriend for so long."

Hermione sighed. "I honestly don't know either."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

When they all were going in for lunch, Draco stopped Harry. He motioned for the others to go ahead of them and there was a lot of giggling because of this. Harry started blushing and then felt his heart start doing flip flops up in his throat when Draco lead him by the hand to an empty classroom.

Now would be a good time to ask, Harry thought to himself. Trouble was, his heart was still doing flip flops in his throat and he couldn't get anything out.

"Harry, this is actually my prank," Draco said. He started nervously picking at his trouser pants and wasn't looking Harry in the eye. "My great uncle started talking to me this summer, said I resembled him a lot at his age. Never quite explained what he meant but that's all right. He showed me a very hand book and I brought it with me this year. It has a spell that turns a building and it's inhabitants into...well, almost a musical.
"I wanted to wait for you to ask me but I thought it wouldn't be fair to expect you to make all the moves. So, I..."

A very slow beat started up and Harry smiled warmly as Draco sang to him.

It's now or never,
come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
it's now or never
My love won't wait.

When I first saw you
with your smile so tender
My heart was captured,
my soul surrendered
I'd spend a lifetime
waiting for the right time
Now that your near
the time is here at last.

It's now or never,
come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
it's now or never
My love won't wait.

Just like a willow,
we would cry an ocean
If we lost true love
and sweet devotion
Your lips excite me,
let your arms invite me
For who knows when
we'll meet again this way

It's now or never,
come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
it's now or never
My love won't wait.

When Draco was done, he was darker than the Gryffindor red and Harry was feeling warm and fuzzy inside. He went over to Draco and kissed the other boy.

"Draco, will you go to the Halloween ball with me?" Harry asked softly.

"Only if you'll be my boyfriend," Draco said very softly.

"Perfect," Harry whispered as he bent his head to kiss his boyfriend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When they got to the Great Hall, it was to a very large audience cat calling and wolf whistling. Harry chuckled nervously as Draco tried to look around at the walls and door. He lead them over to the Slytherin table where their friends were sitting.

"So, mate," Seamus said, eyes twinkling, "I'd say it's about time."

Harry laughed. "I know. Amazing, isn't it?"

At the Gryffindor table...

Ginny seethed as she watched Harry with Malfoy. What did Harry see in that Death Eater scum??

"Disgusting, isn't it?" Ron said. He, too, was glaring at the table.

Ginny huffed and pushed away her plate. "He'll never give Harry what he needs."

Ron sighed. "We'll have to think of something."

Ginny bit her lip. "I have to go, Ron. Essay to do."

Ron nodded. "Yeah. I need to do those myself. I'll see you later."

Ginny left quickly, making her way up to the tower. She didn't see the eyes that followed her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blaise Zabini excused himself from his new group of friends and used the speed he'd inherited from his father's family to catch up with the Weasley girl. Draco had just gotten Harry; Ginevera Weasley was not going to distract the couple from their new happiness.

He managed to take a side hallway and circled around so he was suddenly in front of her. She was getting ready to storm past him when he grabbed her wrist. When she saw it was him, she raised her wand but he snatched it from her.

Ha-ha! well now we call this the act of mating
But there are several other very important differences
Between human beings and animals that you should know about

Id appreciate your input

Sweat baby sweat baby sex is a texas drought
Me and you do the kind of stuff that only prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and Ill bet youll feel nuts
Yes Im siskel, yes Im ebert and youre getting two thumbs up
Youve had enough of two-hand touch you want it rough youre out of bounds
I want you smothered want you covered like my waffle house hashbrowns
Come quicker than fedex never reach an apex like coca-cola stock you are
Inclined
To make me rise an hour early just like daylight savings time

Do it now
You and me baby aint nothin but mammals
So lets do it like they do on the discovery channel
Do it again now
You and me baby aint nothin but mammals
So lets do it like they do on the discovery channel
Gettin horny now

Love the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
Like the lost catacombs of egypt only God knows where we stuck it
Hieroglyphics? let me be specific I wanna be down in your south seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means small craft advisory
So if I capsize on your thighs high tide, b5 you sunk my battleship
Please turn me on Im mister coffee with an automatic drip
So show me yours Ill show you mine tool time youll lovett just like lyle
And then well do it doggy style so we can both watch x-files

Do it now
You and me baby aint nothin but mammals
So lets do it like they do on the discovery channel
Do it again now
You and me baby aint nothin but mammals
So lets do it like they do on the discovery channel
Gettin horny now

You and me baby aint nothin but mammals
So lets do it like they do on the discovery channel
Do it again now
You and me baby aint nothin but mammals
So lets do it like they do on the discovery channel
Do it now
You and me baby aint nothin but mammals
So lets do it like they do on the discovery channel
Do it again now
You and me baby aint nothin but mammals
So lets do it like they do on the discovery channel
Gettin horny now

Her eyes were wide as he had backed her against a wall and was just shy from dry humping her. Eyes like slits, he handed her wand back to her.

"If you're ready for me, you know where to find me," he whispered to her. "I can do things to you that Harry would never think of."

She turned red and ran off. Blaise watched her go with a warm glow in his chest. He knew with a little training, he would have her as a complacent pet. She would become even more beautiful under his steady hand.

He couldn't wait.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was dinner time and there was a lot of high emotions running around the students. A lot of relationships had been destroyed and yet others had been refounded or strengthened. Harry smiled when Draco snuggled under his chin. It was the best feeling, holding Draco close. Harry wondered why he had ever bothered to fight Draco. This was so much better.

"I have to say," Neville said, "I'm glad this prank was saved for the weekend. It wouldn't have been as much fun otherwise."

"Here, here," Pansy said as she slid in next to Neville.

"Where have you been?" Draco asked. "I haven't seen you much since this prank war started."

Pansy shrugged. "Been wondering how I was ever going to fit in. Unlike you, I didn't have a new friendship and unlike Blaise, I'm not really social. I can't just insert myself in a situation."

"And now?" Draco asked.

She shrugged again. "I got tired of being by myself. Millicent isn't any fun." She pouted.

"Well, then, welcome," Hermione said.

All of a sudden, music started playing and the plates disappeared again. Harry sighed even as he smiled at Draco. Draco looked smug. 'Told you,' he mouthed. As one, the students stood up and started to sing:

It's close To Midnight and Something Evil's Lurking in The Dark.
Under The Moonlight, You See A Sight That Almost Stops Your Heart.
You Try To Scream, But Terror Takes The Sound Before You Make It.
You Start To Freeze, As Horror Looks You Right Between The Eyes,
You're Paralyzed

You Hear The Door Slam, And Realize There's Nowhere Left To Run.
You Feel The Cold Hold, And Wonder If You'll Ever See The Sun

You're Out Of Time

They're Out to Get You, There's Demons Closing In On Every Side.

I'll Make You See

Darkness Falls Across The Land, The Midnight Hour Is Close At Hand.
Creatures Crawl In Search Of Blood To Terrorize Yours Neighborhood
And Whosoever Shall Be Found Without The Soul For Getting Down
